Terry McKnight moved to Florida from Illinois but the cooler temps still make him happy.

"It certainly makes me smile. I mean, the cold is just good for us," said McKnight, of Strong Tower Vineyard.

It's not so good for strawberries but great for Florida grapes.

"I tell my wife everyday that I am Spartacus because I'm the only guy out here pulling for cold. The neighbors are going 'why are you going that' and I said, because we need the cold. We need these chill hours," said McKnight.
